TCS’ HR head, Milind Lakkad, reveals plans for 2025: We expect to require more personnel to join our ranks in the coming year…

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) plans to increase its hiring of fresh graduates from engineering campuses in the upcoming fiscal year, exceeding its current year’s commitment of 40,000. The decision is driven by optimistic growth projections, with the company expecting robust growth in certain business verticals. TCS is also increasing its focus on hiring higher-level professionals and investing in training students during their final semesters to make them industry-ready upon graduation. The company is leveraging AI to streamline recruitment processes, enhance employee support, and develop talent. TCS is also implementing a return-to-office policy, encouraging employees to work from the office five days a week to foster a stronger workplace culture. The company does not foresee a significant reduction in hiring volumes due to the growth of global capability centers (GCCs), as they will continue to rely on IT service providers like TCS for specialized services and expertise. Overall, TCS is optimistic about its growth prospects and plans to continue investing in early talent development and AI-driven hiring processes.
